16. I take it to mean they are competing with people who don't care, who will do anything to

get money and power, and therefore Democrats have a harder hill to climb.

All a republiQan needs to do is get some billionaire to back him. Then he gets elected and puts his feet up on his desk and all he has to do for his term is overturn regulations on some polluter or some arms dealer or some drug maker or some other entity that is trying to kill us all.

A Democrat needs to actually get support, then actually govern if they are elected.
